I'm reading through verses in the Psalms where God exemplifies His love toward us. Numerous times, David mentions in one way or another that, because God loves us, we should be thinking about Him often. He mentions that we should meditate on God during the night. He mentions how God is our guide. How could God be our guide unless we listen to Him constantly.
This is an area where I feel that I need a lot of improvement. My thoughts, so often, are about the trivial things around me. I spend too much time thinking about the here and now and not enough time focusing on eternity. I spend to much time trying to solve my daily problems and not enough time seeking God's solutions. I believe my life will improve as I focus more on God and less on myself.
Lord, help me to keep my eyes on You. Help me to have a heavenly perspective. Help me to remember that what matters in eternity is often not what seems the most urgently important now. Help me to take a long term view of life and death. Help me to seek Your guidance in all the big and small decisions of life. Help me to honor You by my life.
